I am a high 1100 – low 1200 chess player. I got this for my kids to learn chess thinking that “Easy” was more than just a catchy name. Waaaay to hard to call itself easy. Finally, after about 6 tries I was about to win and it crashed. It’s done that about 4 times now. Deleted.

The chess that comes pre-installed with Windows Vista is far better than this.

Small board, not many options, generally lame.

A chess game that crashes whenever you’re winning. Yup, that’s really great. So great in fact that there were still 90 people giving it thumbs up. I guess they did that because they were just glad that it wasn’t match 3 game.

I have yet to see a chess game on here that is really up to par. The previous one offered was made by someone who didn’t understand, know or loved the game. This one has bad 3D (a hint, most chess players don’t care for the show and dance of 3D) and a bad chess engine.

My recommendation : don’t waste your time

Dern, yes, dern. I was longing to see Chess on here eventually. However, after reading the reviews and several of the negative evaulations complementing another’s disappointments (such as the errors), and also since the company flatters itself deceptively (a dead give away its crap some where eventually in the game/product) I will downcastfully pass on downloading.

**I so hope other Chess games and even other *BRAIN exercise* games will be offered on here for us dorks and geeks, teehee. ;o)(Hey, some of us prefer interaction via the computer vs passively watching TV and movies. Go figure!)

*All that being said, and though late in posting, I seek Chess players’ opinions. I have Chessmaster 9000 and 10th Ed. I also have Fritz. WHICH is better for the newbie??? You may email me if you like at dr.einstein at bigstring.com (put it together plz). Both are big loads but I don’t know which to start for my daughter. I can only play with a comp and its not something I’d flatter even myself with, lol. Hence, I can’t really be the judge if I don’t play advanced enough. Thanks!

And thanks GOTD and Fly. We still appreciate the participation even if we wouldn’t download the product! Cheers!

Hi,

Thanks for providing so many free games.

Would appreciate for a user manual as I am
new to the game.

Thanks

Installed very easily, and runs well on XP. I am no chess champ, (more of a chess chump), but I am Having fun. What else do you want?

Thanks GGAOTD, for another game for us to try. But alas, I am not a chessplayer, so was hoping for some basic teaching, but this is for those who know how to play. But kudos to your team, as usual.
